L E A D E R S   F O R U M   2 0 1 1

October 27-28, San Francisco

Please find below information on the 2011 Leaders Forum to be held in San Francisco. We have accomplished many great things in past Leaders Fourms and I expect this year will be no different. By design, you will find peers sitting next to you hailing from research libraries, public libraries and university libraries.

This year, we have a wonderful opportunity to shape the In-Library Lending program that was launched with your help in early 2011.

As such, this years Forum will be focused on the second year (and beyond) strategy , user community needs, library community opportunities, content selection, governance, tool sets and, yes, sustainability!

In addition, we will having several outstanding speakers join us from the Books in Browsers tech conference that Peter Brantley is hosting in San Francisco. I think you will find this quite interesting.
